I've recently agreed to swap a book for Kate Morton's next book, The Forgotten Garden as it had a good review, as had The House at Riverton, which i had just started to read. Now i think perhaps i shouldn't have! After all the hype, what a disappointment The House was. A much, much too long story of life in service in the 1920s, as seen through the eyes of 90 something Grace, a ladies maid (eventually) at Riverton. I did struggle through all 600 pages in the hopes that it might at least go out with a bang - but no, an entirely predictable whimper!
